I've just been rereading this controversy and wonder if Bob Blackett couldn't be AR's father? after all Ransome senior loved the area and his demise meant the end of the wonderful summer holidays for the familly. other evidence for different identities could be found in the collingwood tradition of taking their young up the coniston old man. perhaps if the mixed generational source for the books was gazed at it would be a tribute to them.
